The aura Xia Yu unleashed was not only brimming with chakra, but also carried a killing intent that made their skin crawl.
Among those present, several younger elders with weaker wills unconsciously broke out in cold sweat, their bodies beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
They could clearly sense that even all of them together would be unable to handle Xia Yu.
"Is this guy really this terrifying?"

Mei Terumi nodded in satisfaction and
